NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg says the game must learn from the lessons of the Matt Lodge affair if Todd Carney is welcomed back.
Carney,who is hoping to join the North Queensland on a short-term deal has taken another step on his road to NRL redemption after meeting the code's Integrity Unit.
Bad boy Todd Carney wants to return to the NRL but there is no evidence yet to suggest he is a reformed character.
For an organisation that wants to keep Carney’s ban going because he has not done the work,the NRL are setting a high bar for players to clear.
North Queensland coach Paul Green says he believes Carney has turned his life around as the club edges towards a contract offer to the fallen star.
Carney is motivated to prove he has put the infamous'bubbler'incident in the past.
